BA busabase
Use when managing Busabase workspace records, knowledge, apps, or skills through permission-aware ChangeRequests with auditable history.
A skill for managing Busabase workspace records, knowledge, apps, and skills via permission-aware ChangeRequests with audited change history. Promises workspace management with tracked modifications.
Tests show: grade B, no critical issues, three medium-to-low severity findings. Safety scores 97, quality 80, process 81. Single file, no broken references. No model runs or sandbox tests conducted. Supports Claude and Hermes.
The skill is deployable, but without actual model testing, real-world performance remains unclear. Three medium-level findings warrant review before production use.
Busabase is a database and workspace for AI agents: structured records, durable knowledge, apps, and reusable skills.

How to improve
- For Hermes the description must be one sentence under 60 characters; move the conditions to a "When to Use" section.
- Your own cases (evals/evals.json, 4–6 real requests with expected answers): the full check would then run those instead of a model-drafted suite.
- A spec.yaml with trigger phrases and assertions — a behaviour contract for CI; `skilltest init` writes a template.

Everything here is measured from the skill text rather than judged by a model, so the numbers are checkable. A parameter weighs more when it is a more common reason for the process to stall.
